National Cookie Day

It's National Cookie Day in the US!

I discovered this because I was looking for 
Christmas recipes
and found this fabulous peppermint candy cookie
on a favorite site of mine, Bakerella.

Bakerella
Since we don't celebrate such fun days here in South Africa
I thought we could share in the fun of the Americans :)

What's your favorite Christmas cookie?

Happy baking!

Blogger Secret Santa

The
Blogger Secret Santa
is in it's second yearand is being run by
Stiletto Mum this year.

I love the concept of buying a gift
for someone you don't know
and
couldn't wait to sign up.


The rules are:

• All names must be entered by 16 November 2012.
• Charlotte (aka Stiletto Mum) will email you your person by 21 November 2012.
• It’s a secret, the person you’re buying for may not be buying for you so be nice or you may get coal.
• Gifts must be under the value of R100 (pre postage – make sure to get a tracking number and forward it to Stiletto Mum) if you want to spend more feel free, but if about the love that goes into the gift rather than the price.
• If you are no longer able to participate let her know ASAP.
• I will list all blogs involved as I receive them – last year we even had 2 non-bloggers, blog-followers and Tweeple are also invited. We want to GO BIG.
• Anther cute thing we did last year was a post about the things you like so that your Santa can get an idea of who you are. As soon as you have joined and did the post, email the link to set up for you. If you are not a blogger, please do a little intro about yourself and what kind of things you like and email this in Word format, Stiletto Mum will upload it on her blog as a post and link it to your name.

Email c.l.coetzee at gmail dot com if you want to join in.
